Help remote gps

HELP!!!!!

Probably a silly question as i cannot find anything, anywhere, that supplies this info.

Is it possible to remotely access the GPS on my device when the SIM has been removed and all location and GPS services have been de-activated?

I have been using cerberus for android and although the 'HELP' section states this is possible, i cannot seem to perform this task!!!!

From reading the information about the app, if the GPS is off and the SIM has been taken out then it looks as though you won't be able to find it until a new SIM card is put in the phone, as it seems you need one of the three things to locate it. If a new SIM is installed it looks as though the SIM Checker feature will then alert you and you will be able to send text messages to your phone which should hopefully let you find it. Condolences on the loss of your phone, hopefully you can track it down.
 
Welcome to AF! :)

I don't know if it's too late, but ES Security Manager has a function where you can set it to text a certain number and/or email your gmail account with the phones precise location if another SIM is inserted. It will also lock the phone until your passcode is entered & SIM is inserted.
 
I have alot of trouble with cerberus location getting stuck in the same place and not tracking. Have you sent enablewifi and enabledata commands?
